I don't know anything about the c220 but the C2300 is a great preamp. The ref5 cost twice as much, but it certainly isn't twice as good. It's better, but it isn't night and day better. I suggest you start a new thread in the Mc forum or PM Dan aka jdandy for his very experienced opinion on that specific comparison.
